Project Summary

The Lifewater Kenya, a NGO, is running a home, a school and a clinic for disadvantaged girls, mainly orphans, former street girls and recently from internally displaced peoples (IDPs). Construction work is ongoing for more girls homes and in future up-grade the clinic to a fully fledged hospital.

The main constraint to this expansion is water. Although it has piped water from the Water and sanitation company (Nawasco), the pipes are almost permanently dry due to the high demand in the general area. The home is forced to buy water from vendors at exorbitant prices.

It is estimated that the home and the related institutions will require about 40 cubic meters of water daily for institutional purposes.

A submersible pump has been established on this well, construction for the Control panel room and the water kiosk has been completed through the generosity of subsidary sponsors.
